Orchid
2017. Pen & ink and watercolor on 22" x 24" paper. I wanted to see what would happen if I made the image bleed to the edges (came from this sketchbook drawing). The colors started out pretty tame and got more wild and intense as I progressed. I kept thinking it wasn't working out so I tried pushing up the saturation levels until it suddenly all came together. More like this...

With friends
Sketchbook watercoloring
I got to visit the Brooklyn Botanic Garden yesterday and while there wasn't that much in bloom - there was still some cool stuff to see (and smell). Either this (below) wasn't labeled correctly or I wasn't aligning the label near the correct plant, but this Caricature plant (Graptophyllum pictum) was delicious.

Shitheal Roger Ailes
I drew this disgusting shitheel for Michael Hambouz's annual artist collaboration, "Faces of Death." From his web site:
An annual, non-profitting collaborative artist project, paying tribute to fallen heroes and icons.
The Faces of Death idea was originally realized in 1997 in my friend Milton Carter and his pals' music 'zine Gank, and continued in 2002 on a t-shirt printed in Milton's kitchen. Each annual edition of F.O.D. pays homage to cultural icons that have passed during the calendar year, with each drawing rendered by a different wonderfully talented friend/friend-of-friends, in styles ranging from painterly to primitive.
In 2013, Milton passed the F.O.D. torch on to me. As I would prefer not to profit in the name of lives passed, this project is non-profitting. All sales made help to recoup cost of materials and production.
